Warsaw chemical company. Mr. May had found multiple weed problems in Syracuse Lake attributed to the extreme variations in water depths and also the lake having both fastflowing and still water. Because of his expertise in the science of aquatic weeds, Jack B. Riddell was summoned by Mr. May for help in weed analysis and advice. Mr. Riddell, a former biological chemist in the Michigan school system, represents a Pennsylvania chemical company. His training in biology came to light when he spoke on interrelation of organisms. In light gest he summed up by saying, “Rid the lake of people and you’ll rid the lake of weeds.” Mr. Riddell advised installing a sewer system to accommodate the lake community. The septic system, now prevalent, removes pollutants but does not remove nutrients. The nutrients seep into the lake to nourish the water weeds. Another source of nutrients is from the gardner or lawnkeeper who fertilizes for more luxurious growth. The seepage also enriches lake waters. With an abundance of water weeds, game fish never mature to large sizes. A body of water should support 300 pounds of fish per acre. It is not recommended to cut water weeds without harvesting them. The harvest process is very expensive. Fertilizing and forcing bloom to block light to plant roots has not been successful. Florida is looking into plant-eating snails. Arkansas is experimenting with the White Amur, or grass carp, a native of Siberia, Manchuria and China. It eats plant material and has been introduced into southeast Asia, Europe and Russia. Before releasing it, Arkansas wants to be sure it will not multiply and become a menace. There are also experiments being conducted with virus diseases for weed control though it does not look promising. The most effective method at present is dredging and harvesting, along with chemical control, an expensive operation. All methods, whatever, are treating a symptom and will not be a cure. The cure is to refrain man from effecting his environment. The first chemical control was used in 1924 at Madison, Wis. Should chemicals be used for weed control, Mr. Riddell did not advise spraying. After all, the chemical is a herbicide. He strongly emphasized reading a label before using any chemical. Most labels represent several million dollars in research. Picture slides of weeds found in midwest lake waters revealed that the most evident in Syracuse Lake is the coontail, a slender stalk with wispy narrow leaves,

and the milfoil, euraSion. There are 67 groupings of milfoil. Eurasion has heavy stalks supporting heavy compound leaves growing the full length of deep water. An important growth found in Syracuse Lake is Chara Vulgaris (muskgrass). Its growth is to be encouraged. Chara takes up tremendous amounts of nutrients, grows low, covers bottom, and keeps out higher forms of weeds. The chara is yellow-green in color, crusty to touch, and has a musk odor when crushed. The mysterious growth invasion at the mouth of WawaseeSyracuse channel was labeled by Mr. Riddel as one of the unicellular algae. He will send it to the University of Wisconsin for positive identification and advice. After leaving Syracuse, Mr. Riddell was in demand at Angola the following day and Bay City, Mich., that evening. John W. Peters, president of the board, reminded all board members to promote voluntary testing of lake residents’ septic systems. The test is simple. Lake residents wanting to prove to themselves that their septic overflow does not go directly into the lake, call any of the following board members: L. James Butt, Medusa St.; John W. Peters, Front St.; Nelson L. Auer, Carroll St.; Gordon McCormick, Vernon N. Slabaugh, Gaylord E. Jones, Charles F. Kroh, North Shore Drive; David W. Stoops and LaMar Stoops, East Shore Drive. Goodwill dub meets in home of Mrs. Busch The Goodwill Home Extension dub met September 12 at the home of Mrs. Robert Busch at Dewart Lake with 14 members present. This was the annual picnic with a pot luck dinner. Mrs. Burton Butt gave grace. Mrs. Everett Darr, president, called attention to the next meeting to be held October 10 and family night to be held October 12. The fall luncheon will be held at the Shrine building on the fairgrounds October 31. The day was spent socially with Mrs. Marie LeCount winning the door prize. Mrs. Eldred Mabie assisted the hostess. Junior Mothers hold carry-in Mrs. Robert Owen was hostess Monday night for a carry-in salad bar at her Syracuse Lake home with 18 members and three guests of the Junior Mothers club present. Mrs. Eugene Hall, president, was in charge of the business meeting and projects were discussed for the coming year.
